History's first trillionaire is a guy who catches rockets out of the sky with chopsticks and beams internet to every dead zone on the planet.

Same guy ships cars that drive themselves, humanoid robots for the factory floor, brain chips that let paralyzed people move a cursor with pure thought, and an AI running on a supercomputer his team stood up in months instead of years.

And the people crashing out about his net worth are doing it on the app he owns. The same app governments spent years trying to censor.

You cannot legislate a rocket into orbit.

crypto is the youngest frontier industry

chains didn't even scale until 2.5y ago and were borderline unusable at high traffic. not anymore

either the industry is over forever, or you're emotional and outsourced your brain to a chart

we get 10x bigger from here

[Tay 💖 @tayvano_]

ask the things you have money in if they are doing what zcash did

and if they aren’t, fucking RUN

[DCF GOD @dcfgod]

Tokens are better than stocks

Every step of the way, even raising funding is more streamlined and transparent

Our space was just filled with scammers who pretended to be good actors by using our good faith tools

But if genuine people used these tools to build real companies it would be an unlock in a lot of ways... As collateral, borrowing, liquidations, getting liquidity, seeing revenues, accounting, etc.

Thankfully we have hyperliquid - the golden star that proved this

In the coming year, a few more projects will shine through and we can stop being a blackpilled gambling scammer crime fuelled branded industry

Because in the last few years everyone that got attracted was dumped on with valueless not even governance tokens

So whats gonna bring them back when the stock market is the new casino with better “investor protections”?

More hyperliquids

Strap in, prove you're not a scammer, and be rewarded with the cleanest financial instrument in history: tokenization

[BV Insights @BV_Insights]

Our conversation with @zeroshadow_io - a firm which has been excelling in recent times at several high profile cyber threat cases in the space.

"AI has lowered the barrier to entry for cybercrime, allowing bad actors to deploy malware and scams at scale"

[Security Alliance @_SEAL_Org]

[Eli Ben-Sasson | Starknet.io @EliBenSasson]

People compare crypto adoption to AI adoption, but the starting conditions are different.

AI says: "here's a new capability you didn't have before".
Crypto says: "replace the financial system you already use".

Very different ask.

AI is free to test, instantly useful, and saves time from day one.

Crypto often requires an effort to learn and educate yourself, you'll need to pay actual $ just to try it and see what's this all about, and it takes time for you to see that it pays off.

AI is a technological innovation. Crypto is a financial change and financial behavior changes slowly.

@AOC The idea that all billionaires got their money by exploiting peopl doesn't hold up to any scrutiny.

JK Rowling wrote books about cheeky wizards. I invented a better way to make virtual reality headsets and games to play on them. We just made things people wanted.

[Bryan Pellegrino (臭企鹅) @PrimordialAA]

I’ve been asking myself why has it taken me so long to write this? Ultimately I still carry a huge amount of cognitive dissonance here. In my mind LayerZero the protocol was like Gnosis Safe and the application was setting their config, and who the )@(!$ would secure billions in TVL on a 1/1? I even tweeted about it, literally 0, I would have bet almost anything on that because almost every major application we helped setup their configs. Someone then going and manually changing that to a 1/1 was outside of the realm of possibility for me.

I was wrong.

It’s easy to sit back and say ‘it’s just a protocol we have no control over how people use it’ but we have the opportunity to be better.

There was a conversation this week speaking to a customer and they just… screamed at me, at the top of their lungs, and swore for a solid ~3-5 minutes straight. We had implemented additional security measures of forcing a more stringent RPC quorum and forcing every chain to provide multiple RPCs and we had done it without telling them and it !)@$d with their business, which frankly is a deadly sin. We had messed with their business and they said communication wise we were completely blowing this. They were completely right.

This is something I care about a ton, it is both the result of a huge portion of my life and something that I fundamentally believe in. I literally gifted a copy of Unreasonable Hospitality to every single manager in the company. The entire point of what we’ve built is to enable others to build on top of it, it is to provide a protocol and a platform for people to build on, and we’ve been failing some of our largest customers.

The past two weeks have been unbelievably miserable. I’m incredibly grateful for all of the applications who have worked with us over the past 2 weeks, for @zeroshadow_io who has spent endless cycles with us tracking and seizing millions in attacker funds which will be returned to the rsETH team, and for all of the parties who brought together DefiUnited. Particularly @aave for leading and @MikeSilagadze for pushing everyone to get their !@)($ together and sort things out as quickly as possible, and putting himself in the frontline of acquisition talks and everything else to try to get to a solution quickly.

@LayerZero_Core is one of the most critical pieces of infrastructure in the industry, the LayerZero protocol has earned the trust of the largest and most important asset issuers in the space. We will do better and we will make the industry better for it.

My entire focus over the past 2 weeks has singularly been working with applications to harden their setup, building tooling to assist in tracking and freezing hacker funds, and the rsETH recovery efforts.

That is going to shift now to where LayerZero Labs spends it's time and effort. The only thing this company will spend time on is how we can better serve our asset issuers and the upcoming launch of Zero.

[Arbitrum @arbitrum]

The Arbitrum Security Council has taken emergency action to freeze the 30,766 ETH being held in the address on Arbitrum One that is connected to the KelpDAO exploit. The Security Council acted with input from law enforcement as to the exploiter’s identity, and, at all times, weighed its commitment to the security and integrity of the Arbitrum community without impacting any Arbitrum users or applications.

After significant technical diligence and deliberation, the Security Council identified and executed a technical approach to move funds to safety without affecting any other chain state or Arbitrum users.

As of April 20 11:26pm ET the funds have been successfully transferred to an intermediary frozen wallet. They are no longer accessible to the address that originally held the funds, and can only be moved by further action by Arbitrum governance, which will be coordinated with relevant parties.
